That was so sad!
*smiles* I'm not sure I really do regrets as such. There are things that didn't go as I would have hoped. I can get quite misty eyed thinking back to younger days, and the closeness I felt to my man then. I can't imagine ever feeling that kind of closeness again...but that's ok. It was a young thing. It was almost a sublimation of the self.
I know I'll never feel that kind of intensity, because I am not prepared to lose myself in someone. That loss tastes sweet at the time, but there is a cost. An affordable cost when the years weigh light, less so when you get older.
[eta] thinking about it, I don't ever want to love someone so much that I would die or kill for them. I have only ever loved that way once. Thankfully, when that love lost its glamour, there was a solid friendship left. Solid enough that I would probably still die or kill for him; for different reasons.
